Pindar wreath flowers
A rare circular wildflower that grows only along a few kilometres of red dirt road.
The detail
What you'll find
A rare circular wildflower that grows only along a few kilometres of red dirt road. It's one of the moments that defines the bloom story across Western Australia in September.
In context
Western Australia hosts more than 12,000 wildflower species — more than anywhere else on Earth — and September is the moment they all light up at once. From the granite outcrops of the wheatbelt to the red earth around Coalseam, the country bursts into colour for a few short, golden weeks.

Tips for the visit
- Mornings are best — flowers open with the sun and close by mid-afternoon on hot days.
- Stick to roads and tracks. Trampling a patch destroys an entire season's seed bank.
- Bring a macro lens or get close with your phone — the detail rewards a pause.
